<http://www.ijg.org/files/jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz> and checked the date after your message - the file dates back to 27-Mar-1998. But the download link on the page you mentioned also redirects me to this URL. So where do you pick more recent versions of the source? BTW, both gd and the GD module work fine now, but I would certainly like to use actual versions of the libraries.
